£2 from the dump. Needed work, strings and a saddle. It’s been butchered and had identifying features crudely removed but it’s a Yamaha fg140 Nippon Gakki from mid 1970. I knew as soon as I picked it up from the neck.
Sounds good too
Nice find! Those old Yamahas are great! Like your stuffed fox head too. Related to your username or just weird coincidence?
Thanks, it’s actually a black backed jackal head. I picked him up this weekend too, I need to find a spot on a wall for that guy
